Chapter 27 Two Voices of Rules, [Underwater Restaurant]
“Everyone, please come in!”
An ethereal female voice came from within the door. Everyone present clearly saw the Green-Clothed Woman sitting on the swing still playing the flute, not speaking at all.
The group looked at each other and retreated a few steps, staying away from the burly man.
“Guests, please come in, I won't hurt you.”
Before the words faded, the group retreated a few more steps; bad guys generally don't call themselves bad guys.
Only the burly man stood at the door, clutching the doorknob, unable to retreat or advance.
“Oh no!”
The flute music they could still hear suddenly disappeared, but the woman in the room was still holding the flute, indicating that she controlled the transmission of the flute music.
“Ugh~~ Ugh~~”
Hearing the sound, the group's expressions changed drastically.
“The tree men are here again!” Ye Suxuan said gloomily.
She thought that by relying on the suppression of the flute music, they had gotten rid of the pursuit, but now they had actually come again.
“She is forcing us to go in!” Gu Ye glanced at the Green-Clothed Woman inside.
Listening to the sound of the tree men getting closer, they now had no choice.
“Let's go!” Gu Ye took the lead towards the small door, with Yan Shuangling and the other two following behind him.
The twin brothers looked at each other and followed as well; seeing this, the others had no better choice, so they also chose to enter the room.
The burly man who was still standing at the door felt inexplicably relieved at this scene.
Just as everyone was about to cross the small door, a mechanical female voice suddenly sounded:
“Respected guests, please stop!”
The familiar death threat instantly descended upon everyone's heads again, and the feet they were about to step out with were retracted.
“What should we do!”
Yan Shuangling asked Gu Ye.
Gu Ye shook his head at her; he didn't know what to do either, as it was the rules of the Card Domain preventing them from entering the room.
“You don't have to be afraid of her, just come in.” The ethereal female voice sounded again.
The burly man looked at the woman in the room with a terrified expression: “She... she... can hear the voice of the Card Domain rules.”
“Ugh~~”
“Da da da~~~”
The sound of the tree men running was getting closer. Gu Ye and the others had ugly expressions; they could neither advance nor retreat.
Xu Yuanmo, who was standing in the corner, gave a contemptuous smile and lifted his foot to walk towards the room.
In the future, he had specifically learned about the experiences of various god-level Card Masters and knew a thing or two about the Dusk Restaurant. Although he didn't know how they cleared the level, as long as he followed Gu Ye and the others, he could always clear the level.
For some reason, the rules of the Dusk Restaurant Card Domain were split into two, namely good and evil.
The Card Domain rules on the peach tree side were evil, while those on the side of the woman with closed eyes were good. As for whether it was true good or false good, no one knew.
Seeing Xu Yuanmo cross the small door and enter the room without any problems, the others followed closely into the room.
The mechanical female voice's prompt kept ringing in their ears, with a hint of desperation in it.
“Those who enter the room will die!”
“None of you are allowed to enter the room.”
Although the road ahead was unknown, everyone knew that if they stopped, they would really be torn to pieces by the tree men chasing from behind.
Stepping through the small door, the flute music struck again.
And just at this moment, a gentle female voice sounded in their ears:
“Respected guests, welcome to the Underwater Restaurant...”
The woman slowly opened her eyes. Inside her eyes, there were not black and white pupils, but beads that were only white.
“Guests, please take your seats!”
The woman's mouth did not open, but everyone could see her throat moving.
Several chairs entwined with vines appeared out of thin air, and the few people sat down one after another.
The woman's ethereal voice came from her throat: “Guests, if you want to leave here, I think I can help you.”
Hearing this, the group's expressions didn't have much ripples. They definitely wanted to leave, but not now.
After all, they had finally stepped into the Card Domain; if they returned empty-handed, no one would be reconciled. Each of them was holding back a breath, wanting to get some benefits.
“What are the conditions?” Gu Ye asked first.
The others looked at the woman. Her voice passed through the flute music, and everyone heard it clearly:
“I want you to kill the Can Shi Peach Tree, which is the tree chasing you. Obtain its core, the can core, and hand it to me, and I will help you leave here.”
“Are you kidding me? We can't even use our cards now, what are we supposed to fight with! And that peach tree is surrounded by tree men. We don't even know how to get to it.” The burly man stood up and retorted angrily at the woman.
The others silently watched the woman, wanting to hear what solution she had.
“No matter what method you use, you must get the can core for me, otherwise none of you will think about leaving.” Obviously, the woman only wanted the result; she had no thoughts about the process.
“As for the abilities you use, one blood core can unlock one person's ability.”
Hearing this news, the old man who hadn't spoken the whole time also hurriedly asked:
“How do we get the blood core?”
The woman didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore. The flute in her hand flashed with a glimmer of light, and suddenly a strong feeling of being pushed from behind struck, and the scenery in front of everyone changed.
They arrived at an unfamiliar place, but looking at the environment, they should be at the front desk of the restaurant.
Calming down, no one made a sound. The quiet restaurant front desk concealed everyone's uneasy hearts.
Xu Yuanmo crossed his arms over his chest, swept his gaze over everyone present, and took the lead in breaking the silence:
“Everyone, I believe you all heard the woman's words just now. Monsters are blood cores. If we want to drive our cards, we must face the monsters directly.”
He paused for a moment before continuing: “But ask yourselves, who among us here has full confidence to deal with the monsters alone? In my opinion, we must join forces and work together to hunt those monsters! As long as one of us can use cards first, hunting monsters later will be easy.”
After the words fell, some people were moved, but no one echoed.
And the others had low eyes, obviously weighing the pros and cons.
At this moment, the woman who had never spoken asked a question that everyone cared about:
“Then who gets to use the first blood core obtained?”
Hearing this, Xu Yuanmo hooked his mouth into a smile he thought was charming: “Draw lots, fair and just.”
The woman nodded in agreement and stopped talking.
“Then I think everyone agrees with my method!” Xu Yuanmo scanned the silent group.
Gu Ye rubbed the bottle in his pocket with his fingertips, looked at Xu Yuanmo with deep eyes, and finally nodded in agreement. However, Gu Ye also kept an eye on Xu Yuanmo. Seeing this, Chu Ling and the others also agreed.
Seeing the general trend, the others also agreed to his method.
“Since we are all going to fight together, let's introduce ourselves!”
“I'll go first, Xu Yuanmo!”
“Third Mother Li.” The woman said lightly.
The bespectacled boy muttered “Ding Ning” in a low voice, his voice as weak as a mosquito's hum.
“Just call me Luo the Third.” The burly man patted his chest and said.
The white-haired old man coughed twice and said: “My surname is Sun.”
“Stone Shield.”
“Stone Sword.” The two brothers' dull voices sounded, and Gu Ye and the others also introduced themselves.
